Group Medicine Journeys
An intimate circle for healing, connection, and the experience of being held in community.
Group Medicine Journeys are ceremonial gatherings for people who want to work in a shared space while still being met as individuals. These gatherings are held with a minimum of six participants and are guided with care and attention to each person and to the group as a whole.
When we gather in ceremony, the space becomes a place of listening. Each person arrives with their own history, nervous system, and intention. The work honors this individuality while allowing the shared environment to support focus, connection, and presence.
These journeys are not about group process or performance. They are about creating the conditions for each person to have their own experience within a shared ceremonial space.
Some experiences are supported by being in the presence of others. Being witnessed can help you feel less alone in what you are moving through, while the shared ceremony creates a sense of connection and belonging.
There is no requirement to share or participate beyond what is true for you. You are supported in staying connected to your own experience while being held within the larger rhythm of the ceremony.
Each journey is guided through careful listening to what is happening in the room. The structure remains steady while the way the ceremony unfolds responds to what is present. Ceremony, sound, prayer, and stillness are woven into the day to support the experience and its integration.
The Journey Process
Connection and Assessment
Before joining a group, each participant meets with me for a private twenty-minute consultation. We talk about what is bringing you to the ceremony, clarify your intentions, and determine whether a group journey is appropriate for you. Each participant also completes a health and wellness assessment so relevant physical, emotional, and other considerations can be reviewed before the ceremony.
Preparation
Preparation begins before the gathering. Participants receive guidance to support the body and nervous system through nourishment, rest, reflection, and grounding. A group orientation gives everyone a clear understanding of the structure of the day and what to expect.
Ceremony
The ceremony is guided and contained. Earth-based ritual, sound, movement, prayer, and intentional tending are woven into the experience. Each participant is supported in meeting what arises at their own pace, with their boundaries and choices respected throughout.
Integration
After the ceremony, the group gathers to ground and reflect. You are given time to settle, ask questions, and consider what you want to carry into your life. Practices and prompts are offered to support your integration, and one-to-one sessions are available for additional support.
How the Work Is Held
Group Medicine Journeys are trauma-informed and attentive to the nervous system. Group size remains intentionally small so that each participant can receive appropriate care and attention throughout the ceremony.
This is shared ceremonial work that honors individuality, sovereignty, consent, and timing. You have your own experience while being part of something held in community.

“There are no words for the sacred precision of this work. The group field became a living intelligence. Each of us was working our own piece, yet everything was synchronized. Naomi sees beyond the surface. She speaks to the soul in a way that is both simple and holy. This experience continues to ripple through my life.”
Who Is This for?
You want to experience ceremony in community while still having your own individual experience.
You value being part of a small group where there is care, respect, and attention to each person.
You want space to explore your inner world through ceremony, ritual, nature, and shared presence.
You want to be witnessed without being required to share more than feels right for you.
You want to step out of your usual environment and give yourself time for reflection, connection, and a different way of experiencing yourself.
You want to release what you have been carrying on your own and experience the support of being with others who are also doing their own work.
You feel comfortable participating in a group setting and can honor your own boundaries while respecting the experience of others.
You want to bring what you experience in ceremony back into your everyday life with greater awareness and intention.
Each group is intentionally formed so that the people, timing, medicine, and structure are appropriate for the gathering. I consider the needs of the group as a whole while continuing to care for each person individually.
“The preparation alone began changing my life. By the time I arrived at the ceremony, my body already felt different. Naomi’s way of weaving the elements, sound, and body-based practices brought me back into trust with myself. I left with clarity about my path and a sense of connection I have been missing for years.”
What To Expect
What the Group Journey Includes
Each Group Medicine Journey is shaped around the medicine being offered, the intentions of those gathered, and what is present on the day. The ceremony is guided in real time, while each person remains connected to their own experience.
Ceremonial Guidance
Each gathering begins with grounding, orientation, and prayer. I guide the ceremony throughout the day, paying attention to what is happening and providing support as needed.
Earth-Based Ritual
The space may include fire, water, herbs, flowers, and other elements that support the ceremony. You are welcome to spend time with these elements as part of your own process.
Body and Energy Work
Movement, breath, bodywork, and energetic practices may be woven into the day according to what is appropriate. This gives the body another way to settle, release, and integrate the experience.
Sound and Music
Each journey has a curated playlist created for the ceremony. Live drumming, song, chimes, and other sounds may also be included as the day unfolds.
Personal Ritual and Prayer
You are welcome to bring a personal item, flower, stone, or other object for the altar. You may also create a prayer or offering connected to your intention for the ceremony.
Rest and Reflection
There is time to lie down, rest, journal, meditate, or simply be quiet. You are never required to participate in group discussion or share anything you do not want to share.
Closing and Integration
The ceremony closes with time to ground and reflect together. You receive your playlist and guidance for integrating the experience after you leave, and private sessions are available for additional support.
“I have done many forms of healing, yet this was different. The ceremony Naomi facilitated opened a portal of remembrance that I didn’t know was possible. The way she held the group, the way she tracked energy, and the devotion in her voice created a field of true coherence. I came face to face with old grief that finally softened into peace.”
Investment
Each Group Medicine Journey includes a private consultation, health and wellness assessment, preparation guidance, the ceremonial journey, and a closing integration circle.
Investment varies according to the group size, length, location, and structure of the ceremony.
Additional costs for travel, space rental, lodging, or additional assistants may apply and will be discussed before the group is confirmed.
Multi-day immersions and destination journeys are available by request.
“This ceremony felt like returning to the heartbeat of life itself. I entered holding so much tension and left feeling spacious, alive, and in love with the world again. Naomi carries a presence that is both fierce and tender. Every prayer, every sound, every breath felt intentional. It was the safest I have ever felt in a healing space.”
